No but I only have owned for 6 months. Dexter is known for bring a good product. If you left in the car or hot climate that may be your problem.

I did not have that issue. It does keep feet softer so there is no cracking.

Yes, I got mine replaced because they weren't the same quality as the first ones I got. Excellent customer service, they sent a new pair right away

You got a bad pair. I don't have this problem with the pair I bought last year. If you can return it or get ir replaced, I'd suggest you do that.

You know I really have not kept track. I'm on my 4th pair, and it's been 15 years, anyway. My first pair was a half length one, and it's still in a pair of hiking shoes I don't wear that often. The second pair pretty much disintegrated before I got another pair, and the third pair is in my work shoes. I do wear things out pretty completely, but I feel confident saying that for me, a pair will last in good shape for the better part of 3 years. Wish I could find a pair of shoes that last that long.

I have been wearing mine in my tennis shoes and they are worn nearly everyday. I received my pair about 2 months ago and still in great shape. I would say replace them if they start feeling flat under your feet or pain returns. You can check their website too for more specific information. I love mine though! :)

I had a pair for about 12 years and then one night my husband snapped them. Didn't know his own strength. The new ones I have. I hand wash them, only takes a second.

I bought one for my mom last Sep. she just used a few times and the foot broke. I contacted Amazon and they requested me to sent the broken one back and sent a new one to me. Hope it helps.

I would not recommend this product. I purchased this item for My son who wears a size 14 shoe, it did not last ling. The weight of the sneaker takes a toll on the not so sturdy stand. I purchased this for myself as well. Lasted longer as my shoes aren't as heavy but it's at its wear and tear stage. If you are looking for something to last longer than 6 mos. look for something a little more durable

I would consult with a pediatric doctor for a 3 year old...I didn't notice any issues until my son was very active and wearing out good athletic shoes, around 6 years old..I have really flat fee so he inherited the same problem.

I must agree with some other posts regarding cracking, etc. I am currently experimenting with "cloth" covered vertical blinds. So far, there is no problem. I would take my shoes to a shoe repair shop and ask them what you should use to protect your shoes. Good luck.

My first one came with a broken bowl too. Second time, no bowls were broken but the same bowl arrived with crazing and broke later. I hate these bowls. Am going to get some vintage Pyrex cinderella mixing bowls from ebay and put what's left of these pieces of crap out on the curb. My mom's Cinderella bowls have lasted over 50 years and through all my childhood baking. These didn't make it a year.

I haven't had a problem. I bought these because our gardner has used them for 15 years and still has the same pair. May be contact the seller.

No these shoes have special soles designed for the bowling alley. They are a felt like material under the ball of the foot that slides over the wood floors in bowling. There is also no real "tread" that you would see in a normal tennis shoe. I think the felt portion would wear our very quickly walking on pavement etc. That being said there is nothing really stopping you from wearing them as normal shoes. Mine are fairly stiff though, so I can't imagine them being comfortable for much walking. As others have said, if you do wear them as normal shoes.

No. But I should mention that if the rubber around the toe does tear so I doubt they would last long if you did that. (Plus it might look a little odd)

Older model would last about a year in often used walking shoes, then you would notice it starts losing cushioning. New model is not good at all from the start and since I just got it can not say how long these will last. I will look for another brand for my next pair.
